Bertolotti's Syndrome, a subset of lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV), is one cause of chronic low back pain (LBP), and a commonly overlooked differential diagnosis. The incidence of Bertolotti's Syndrome has been underestimated in the past and is common in those of younger ages around 30-40. Although diagnostics, imaging methods, and treatment algorithms have been improved in the past few years, there is no gold standard and more long-term, prospective research is needed. The purpose of this mini-review is to increase awareness of Bertolotti's Syndrome, discuss recent advancements in treatment algorithms, and highlight current gaps in the literature.
贝托洛蒂综合征是腰骶部移行椎（LSTV）的一个子集，是慢性腰痛（LBP）的一个病因，也是一种常被忽视的鉴别诊断。过去，贝托洛蒂综合征的发病率被低估，在30 - 40岁左右的年轻人中很常见。尽管在过去几年里诊断方法、成像技术和治疗方案有所改进，但尚无金标准，仍需要更多长期的前瞻性研究。本综述的目的是提高对贝托洛蒂综合征的认识，讨论治疗方案的最新进展，并突出当前文献中的空白。
